Investment thesis

Global Partnerships is an impact-first fund manager focused on expanding opportunity for people living in poverty. Through its affiliated funds, it invests in social enterprises that offer market-based products and services enabling people to earn income and improve their lives. GP operates multiple active investment initiatives spanning areas such as smallholder farmer market access and women-centered finance with health, targeting underserved populations. Its emphasis is on measurable social impact alongside financial sustainability, deploying capital to enterprises that serve low-income and marginalized communities, particularly women, who disproportionately bear the burden of limited access to health and financial services.
